160 cm (5.2) , 48 kg (105 lbs) , 275 cc + 295 cc OR 295 cc + 315 cc?

Hi there, thank you for your question. If you want a natural result, both sizes are okay to have. But, please keep in mind that projection is also important and if you want to achieve a fuller and natural look, you can have HP implants rather than increasing the implant size.

Breast implant size is a critical part of achieving a very pleasing result. The most reliable way to determine whether you like a certain size or not is to try on sizers in you plastic surgeons office. You can see how your clothes will look with the additional volume, also you will feel the weight of the implants. Feeling the weight is important especially for very active women since heavy implants can effect activities such as running. With the help of sizers, I recommend patients go towards the top of their comfort zone so they dont have concerns of whether they went big enough. Try those sizes on in the office and I hope that will make your decision easier.

Best wishes,

Dr. Jan

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Everyone has sisters, not twins, to some degree.

Hello, thank you for your question. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant, measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy.

Dear Glorious891807,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Your surgeon who has examined and measured you will be the best one to direct you to what range of sizes best fits your frame and tissue. However, there is very little difference in the two sizes.

The difference in the implant sizes you are considering will look virtually the same once placed. It's less than two tablespoons of volume. Your surgeon has examined you and is making recommendations based on how the implant will fit combined with your goals for treatment. Either option should give you a natural result, but one may fit better based on your anatomy.
